who is charged with reckless second-degree murder in the death early Friday of Matthew Beaudoin, 29. Authorities won’t describe the argument beforehand in Slade’s Food & Spirits, but witnesses said it heated up when Hernandez identified herself as a New York Yankees fan. Nashua, 45 miles northwest of Boston, is Red Sox country.
Bartender Tanya Moran said the argument spilled outside, and at least one person in a group that included Beaudoin began chanting “Yankees suck!” when they saw a Yankees sticker on Hernandez’s car.
Hernandez, 43, allegedly gunned her car and struck Beaudoin and his friend Maria Hughes, 21. Beaudoin’s sister, Faith Beaudoin, said Hughes had only minor injuries because her brother shielded her. Beaudoin died of massive head trauma at a hospital, Morrell said. Hernandez, of Nashua, was arrested at the scene. She acknowledged she had been drinking and refused to take a breath-alcohol test, said Morrell, a senior assistant attorney general. Hernandez said she had been in an argument with the group. “She indicated to police that she wanted to scare this group of people. She thought they would get out of the way,” Morrell said.
Taking one out for your team, now thats a fan!
I could argue and point out that perhaps the game is being take too far in this case
She took one out for the WRONG TEAM though. Oh, the shame. The shame. And you’d have to be drunk to ever run over a Red Sox fan.
Hmm, and here i thought a Yankee was some sort of sexual favor.
Its obvious that team sports leads to violence. It should be outlawed, restricted, censored just like any other gateway activity==like grand theft auto, the bible, Harry Potter, Darwin, marijuana, etc.
It fact, its hard to find “anything” that doesn’t cause human beings to become violent.
Heh, heh.
Red Sox fans are ABSOLUTLEY the most obnoxious fans that exist and I’ve lived a lot of places. Stroked by AM talk radio that gets them all riled up. Still doesn’t justify running them over, but I can see how this taunting could get out of hands.
Its like middle school but with adults..

Masturbation… unless there’s a fetish afoot.
5-
you mean sox fans are the second most obnoxious fans. Yankee ‘fans’ are BY FAR the most ridiculous and obnoxious fans, and it’s not even close. They feel their team owes them the world series every year, and that somehow the team’s past world series achievements the fans somehow were responsible for.
But the best defense to a yankee fan is just laugh in their face that despite MLB’s highest payroll each year, they still haven’t been able to buy a world series in 8 years.
Fan is short for fanatic.
#4 – In a way you’re right Bobbo. Though I’m sure you only meant to be sarcastic. Team sports are basically metaphors for militarism. Organized agression against an opposing force. Though I would have thought Baseball was about as far down the scale of violence as possible. With only doubles Tennis being lower. But I guess the media has ramped up the viewers’ mania about rankings. It’s no longer a nice Sunday afternoon’s diversion from the heat. What can we expect in the not too distant future? Letting the lions loose on the losing team? Most of the Olypmic sports are non-team competitions. Even though the media packages the various nations’ athletes as a team. The metals still mostly go to one athlete per event. It the media conglumerates who tend to militarize anything they can, in order to increase ratings and profits. Cause lets face it, Golf just isn’t that exciting. No one ever got into a bar fight over Arnold Palmer.

Didn’t read about the new study that says masturbation saves lives. Well, your own life that is. Because it prevents prostate cancer. Also, if your a Red Sox fan it will keep you off the street and out of the way of speeding cars.
Sports are for simple minded buffoons.
#5: Sorry, generalizations don’t work here. This Red Sox fan isn’t obnoxious. Booze was obviously an issue, as the story says.
‘cor, baseball fans have it easy. You should see what happens to Manchester City Football Club supporter who enters Millwall Football Club territory…..
Opps, forgot this:

How can anyone get so emotional about something as boring as baseball. It is the only sport where it is entirely possible for a player to participate in the game, do absolutely nothing, and still have their team win. (Don’t swing at any pitches and get walked, and have no defensive plays that involve your position.) That is not a sport.
She looks like trouble.

Something disturbed this woman long before baseball. There are many people out there with the hammer back and safety off. Walk away, you never know. A far as sports, booze was more of a contributing factor.
Lousy driver. She missed one.
Red Sox Fan and Yankees fan are both obnoxious boobs. They are on the same low level. The only thing that Red Sox fan had going for him for years was their propensity for loving a team that inevitably blew it in monumentally heartbreaking fashion, so there was a sense of pity. However, over the course of the past few years, with 2 championships under their belt, they’ve voided any sympathy they might have previously received.
Outside of the East Coast and fans of either team, no one cares for either one of the teams, and despise going to their local ballparks when these teams come to town because of having to deal with either teams fans.
Having one teams fan killing the other teams fans only stands to re-enforce to the rest of us the thuggery of both teams fans.
After all, wasn’t it merely a year or so ago that a Yankees fan was beaten to death by Red Sox fans for mouthing off?
#16: You’re right, that’s not a sport. But it’s a hell of an easy way to become a millionaire!

To those dopes calling sports lame or baseball ‘not a sport’, don’t begrudge something simply because you can’t follow the game, or never had any athletic ability (and no, playing a sports video game doesn’t count).
#24, Brian, I also enjoy a good game of baseball, all leagues from AA to the show.
Minor league is a lot of fun and is an inexpensive and thriving attraction in TX, with Nolan Ryan’s team in Austin, the Ft. Worth Cats, and the Dallas Rough Riders.
Three of the best minor league ballparks in the nation are here and have great attendance numbers:

I can’t imagine rabid fans killing each other over taunts about a sport. But then there are “soccer hooligans.” Religion, baseball, football, what other crowd excuses come to mind? Isn’t Philly the only NFL stadium with an on-site court and lockup?
